Chapter 265 265 Shrine of Chiragya

[El's POV: ]

There are special structures in the Worldline that are designed as the (Growth points) for the individuals who discover them, challenge them, or somehow get trapped inside them.

'Dungeons, labyrinths, graveyards, old shrines, ancient ruins, and artificial places like this place are also part of those places of growth.'

Shrine of Chiragya was created by the first conqueror of this world, the first person who united all the continents and ruled over the entire land with his wisdom, deep knowledge, and abundant resources... or so it's written in ancient texts.

"That bastard Chiragya was a cursed person that was lucky even though he never wanted to be one."

He was from a rich family so he had the most riches that a home could wish for and their social standing in their society was pretty great as well.

His life had been ordinary until he became an adult and awakened his unique ability that resulted in his curse which, sadly, gave him an absurd kind of luck.

'All things he said practically came true. Even though he wanted to simply go on a walk, he would end up doing something insanely amazing, with just a word from him, the entire world would be turned upside down because of weird kind of butterfly effect, and even without him wanting to, be become an emperor of the strongest kingdom with him having the greatest subordinates, artifacts, riches, and powers that were fucking absurd.'

His curse was a blessing for the world, but to him, it was a kind of harassment no mortal being was capable of handling.

"He loved someone, only one person in his entire life, and thanks to his luck, he was able to be with that person as well. However, in his wake were left piles of ashes, hills of dead bodies, and a kind of carnage incompatible to any mortal bloodbath."

She loved him as well, and seeing him in perfectly fine at the end made her happy. Perhaps the happiest person present in that era.

"But then again, she knew she could never be with someone whose mere wish could cause such devastation... and so-" Trace the roots of this material to n0v★lbin

[[ She killed herself? ]]

I looked beside me at my little dragon floating with a curious look on his face.

He strangely liked this kind of cliche drama stories.

"Yes she killed herself. And unknowingly so, the child they were going to have as well."

[[ Wow... how dumb. ]]

He certainly liked this kind of stuff over something actually fun like skydiving.

'Was being a primordial dragon make his point of view of this world different from the entire Worldline or was his likening for gardening and these common dramas an effect of the world seals put on him?'

Welp, whatever it might be, he was cute this way.

"So, he was devastated by this terrible thing, and cursed his cursed luck with tears of blood.

That lucky bastard was lucky, yes, but he did not become a conqueror who 'did not ascend even after having many epics and divine powers' with that luck alone.

'Thanks to his fucked up luck, he faced many challenged, and opportunities. Learned, got stronger than many of the gods of current time, became a Transcendent being who refused to become a god, and gained the special divine title of a conqueror.'

He was the only being from this part of the Worldline to have achieved something like that, and, that was exactly the reason many of the higher beings got jealous of him and ultimately when he died, sealed off this grave and erased practically every evidence of his existence from this world.

[[ So... you are going there to open the boxes you have amassed until now? Aren't there hundreds of those things from your various achievements? ]]

"Yup~. And the one who reaches the top first will get a wish~!"

[[ I still don't understand this wish system you two use, but whatever. This place sounds fun. When are we going to start climbing the floors then?

Are you going to use some super special strategy to climb the floors faster than him? ]]

He was excited now. Little bastard, kek.

"Of course not, lol. Who would do all those shit tasks just to climb these shit floors? That's a waste of time." Cary stopped in his place as soon as he heard me say that and had a stunned expression.

We were walking through the dense forest on a path completely devoid of any signs of life even though this forest was completely filled with all kinds of creatures of the older times.

There were beings of the past here that weren't available in the outer world here so the tasks were either going to be to fight them or to collect things or to learn things or to overcome things that were related to them in some way.

There were going to be various tasks for others to accomplish that will give them various rewards but they were not going to be easy in any way for any of them.

They were going to do those tasks, Lucy will as well, faster than any of them, I knew that already. He knew this place better than me since he had explored this place after going through the entire process.

But if I wanted to win, wasting time doing all those tasks and shit was unnecessary.

[[ My dumb master? How are you going to win if you don't play the game in the first place? ]]

He was stunned since there was a game Lucy and I were playing and I was saying I wasn't going to participate in the game itself.

He couldn't understand how I was going to win if I didn't do the tasks themselves.

"You are going to help me with that, dummy. That's the reason I have you out here."

The reason this entire path was empty was because the sole being that resided in at the end of this road. A being that was not something any of us could face at this moment.

A being that even if Lucy wanted to, he couldn't defeat by himself.

However, this being was unique.

"There is a dragon here and since you are a dragon lord, you are going to talk with it~."

I had a cheat.

And there was no way in hell I wouldn't use it for something so stupid.
